From a position on an Array of sector Sprites on an 11 x 11 grid, I am trying to "sense" what Child occurs at nearby sector Sprites. I felt certain I could use something like this
if (sectorArray [currentSector - 11].getChildAt is MovieClip) {
//do stuff
}
but it doesn't seem to work. I changed my visibility settings to true, thinking the false visibility might be a problem, but no result.
I've got a question that might make me look like a fool. But the question is:Is it possible to somehow change a dynamic variable or call a dynamic function of an object using
Code:container.getChildAt(index).variable = 234;container.getChildAt(index).function();I mean, if I write a class with some functions and variables that are public. And I need many instances of that class (which extends MovieClip, and is tied to a object in the library) inside the container object. and I want to run some functions and set some variables of the first object in the container object when the

Code: sprContainer1.addChildAt(sprContainer2.getChildAt( 1),0);
Problem is when I run this code sprContainer2.numChildren is getting reduced by 1, which seems that this code removes a child from sprcontainer2.
